    Are you asking if the words are usually associated with negative connotations, or asking for examples of where they can be interpreted negatively? Petite and Inactive do not have inherently negative connotations for me, although they can be seen that way in certain contexts (too petite for a physical task; inactive as in lazy). Arrogant (thinking oneself better than others) and Messy (dirty and disorganized) do.
